"Heels Belles is the debut album of the D4rky Quartet, an all-female string quartet with flute of Mozartian influence, founded by the composer Sylvia Catasta, conductor and historical assistant of Ezio Bosso, with the collaboration of Saturnino and Alessio Bertallot. D4arky Quartet is made up of four musicians with a very solid classical training but used to having a complete dialogue with every musical genre: Sylvia Catasta on flute; Silvia Mangiarotti on viola; Adriana Ester Gallo on violin; Yuriko Mikami on cello. Alessio Bertallot is the vocal featuring on this album who transcribes the great evergreens of international classic rock for quartet, transforming them into a language that lies between cultured song and progressive."

"Pablo was fantastic. He provided a list of songs he could play, but also welcomed requests from us so that the music was personal to us. The songs we chose may not have traditionally been associated with Spanish Guitar, but Pablo worked his magic, and his arrangements were lovely (and even brought a tear to the eye of one very unemotional groom…lol)."

" Yaz xxx oud player is widely regarded as a very good, highly respected oud player. Here’s why musicians, critics, and venues take him seriously: 🎵 Musical Skill & Reputation • Strong technical command of the oud: His playing shows control, speed, and expressive phrasing, especially in improvisation (taqsim). • Expressive style: Critics often highlight the emotional depth and atmosphere of his playing rather than just flashiness. • Comparisons to top players: He has been compared in reviews to internationally respected oud masters like Anouar Brahem, which is high praise in the oud world. 🌍 Professional Recognition • Major venues & festivals: He has performed at places like Ronnie Scott’s, the Barbican, Royal Festival Hall, WOMAD, and Glastonbury — venues that book only high-level musicians. • Serious collaborations: Playing with artists such as Robert Plant, Natacha Atlas, Cheb Mami, and Transglobal Underground indicates strong peer recognition. • Longevity: He has maintained an active career for decades, which usually only happens when a musician is consistently good and in demand. 🎶 Musical Value • He’s not just a technician — he’s also a composer and bandleader, able to integrate the oud into jazz, blues, and world-music contexts without losing its traditional character. • His work with Fantazia and later ensembles shows versatility across traditional and contemporary styles. Bottom line If you measure “good” by: • technical ability ✅ • musical expression ✅ • professional respect ✅ • sustained career at high-level venues"

"Fai was the right choice for our event. Not only children enjoyed his singing, and were strumming the guitar with him, also the grownups were enjoying his collection of old and new songs. He sings in 3 languages, with a nice smile and positive energy."

"Ms. Fiddle-Hooper played modern and pop-classical violin for my wife’s 70th birthday party. Her stage presence and connection with the crowd made us feel wrapped within the music. We loved having her music grace our party!"
